I'm not hungry today because I'm still drinking this shake. Yesterday I had a smoothie king shake and she didn't make it thick enough. Today I made my own. I premade the crystal light...what flavor...Wait for it...Margarita!!!! I have my fruits and veggies. I'm ready today. Yesterday I wasn't prepared. Today. I'M PREPARED. I am proud of myself though because I wanted to eat chicken, hamburgers everything and I resisted the temptation. I am going to do this.This is my last chance!!

You can do it!!! That pre op diet sucked for sure but it will make your surgery go smoother. I was so happy to hear my surgeon say my liver had shrunken. I know you are excited about your surgery so let that be your motivation. I can tell you I had surgery on Monday & I have zero appetite

You can do it gurl, stay strong!!!  It's so worth it!!!

I am on day two of diet.. oh my I am dying today.. HORRIBLE Headache body ache.. I think I am having huge caffeine withdraws.

I have had tons of water and one shake so far.  I can do this.  I keep telling myself... :(  So hard.. :( 

We can do this!

Surgery 5/15

Oh can I get that margarita shake recipe???  I'm on day 4.  Had a headache this morning, took some motrin, then remembered I wasn't supposed to.  Oops.  But I have this horrid taste in my mouth.  I've brushed, gargled, etc.  Is that normal???

I have had that same taste in mouth too.  I just keep chewing sugar free gum.   We can take tylenol so i have taken it every 4 hours.. We can do it...

It's the Margarita crystal light. I put it in the freezer and voila...Margarita!!

Crystal Lite is great.  Just be aware some of them have caffine.  Read the labels if you are on a caffine free diet. Start mine tomorrow. Really looking forward to it--not.

Thanks for this info, never thought to check for caffeine.

On my second day of pre-op program - using Opti Fast.  The mental challenge seems to be bigger than the physical challenge. Great tips from those who have been through this already.  Thanks and good luck to my fellow pre-op friends.  WE CAN DO THIS!
